Netflix seems to have another hit on its hands with its adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s The Witcher, and it’s sitting in some pretty elite company on IMDb’s ratings of Top Netflix Original Series (via Forbes). The show started out with an 8.9 rating, which initially made it Netflix’s highest-rated original series on the site, but since then it has fallen to 8.8. Even with the drop, it is among some heavyweights, as shows like Black Mirror, Narcos, and House of Cards all have the same exact score. That also puts it ahead of other big-time series like The Crown, Better Call Saul, and Daredevil, and that’s a pretty impressive feat.
It will likely drop another few point or two over time, but even then that’s some stellar company, and it seems that season 2 renewal was the right call. You can check out the full top 10 shows list below.
